Grass Type Explained
Grass is tied with Rock for the most weaknesses of any type — five — and Grass attacks are resisted by seven types, tied with Bug for the most. In return it resists Water, Electric, Grass and Ground, and hits Water, Ground and Rock super effectively.
Against a pure Grass Pokémon, lead with Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying and Bug moves and avoid Water, Electric, Grass and Ground. Against a Grass dual type the answer changes, because the second type can cancel a weakness or stack it into a 4× hit — use the Pokémon type calculator to check any exact combination.
